The Challenge
The client needed quizzes that could:
- Randomly pull questions from a larger bank
- Filter based on a student’s region (e.g., Colorado vs. California)
- Allow access via codes or QR
- Support both English and Spanish
- Import questions via CSV
- Schedule tests by date
What We Did
Region-Specific Pools
We grouped questions by state and topic using the LearnDash Multi Question Categories plugin, allowing quizzes to dynamically pull the right mix. Assigning multiple categories to each question enabled dynamic quizzes and quizzes using a question bank for localized access.
Randomized Quiz Logic
Used learndash_get_quiz_questions() to fetch different set of questions each time for each student, even within the same region. This allowed creating quizzes with LearnDash that offer single choice questions, multiple correct answers, fill in the blank questions, drag and drop, matrix sorting choice, and other choice questions. The quiz builder and quiz creation process ensured each quiz is taken with a set of questions each time.
Scheduling + Gated Access
LearnDash’s drip-feed features made it easy to control when each test appears, ensuring that quizzes using multiple categories and dynamic quizzes also maintain proper quiz settings, points for each question, and backend control over the entire quiz.
Code-Based Access
We proposed a small add-on to generate unique test links + QR codes to simplify access per student. This custom code helped admins manage student performance and ensure that quizzes are taken in a controlled manner.
Language Support
Set up multilingual quizzes with WPML and LearnDash’s translation tools, allowing quizzes also to support English and Spanish content while maintaining the selection of questions, correct answer tracking, and answer correct feedback.
Bulk Question Upload
Enabled quiz bank uploads via spreadsheet with the Quiz Import Export plugin—saving tons of admin time.
The Result
✅ Random quizzes tailored by location
✅ English + Spanish support
✅ Admins can upload 100s of questions in seconds
✅ Students access tests through personalized codes or QR links
